Being in elementary school is extremely frustrating. Nobody knows who they are yet, and I was definitely a part of that club.
The kids in my class made me upset one day, and I didn’t know how to explain to my parents why I was so upset after coming off of the school bus.
Not exactly sure why, probably in pursuit of being “cool”, but i told them that I was upset because I was the only girl who wasn’t shaving my legs yet.
(Spoiler) Nobody was shaving their legs yet.
That same day, my mom helped me learn how to shave.
The next day, all of the girls in my class were rubbing my hairless leg, and within a week or so, a couple of kids in my class also started shaving.
It was stupid, funny in a way, and also a lesson on how much peer pressure can effect anyone.

Elementary school?!!
lol when my mom found out I was shaving she looked up my hoohaa and told me it’d turn black and I’d have to bleach it if I kept shaving. I think I was like 13.
This is oddly wholesome for a lie, sometimes peer pressure does weirdly productive things.
You were the popular kid.
